MODERATORS
Because if I go try to make my government stop the senseless killing they will shoot me in the head.
Reminder: Americans != The U.S.
United-Statesian directly voted for this. US foreign policy is controled by the president or at this point king. It might not have been every United-Statesian, but it is on them. Well over 50% country still support ongoing genocide.
So yes, United-Statesian are not the same as US, but the damage done is theirs to carry for decades to come.
That is a pretty hot take honestly
That's how many people feel outside of the US.
South Park did it best with the "a little bit country" song, where the government can do whatever because half the people are pro war (country) and half are against it (rock and roll). So whichever seems convenient, they can say on the geopolitical stage they were "against" or "for" it.
"Ouside the US"
What's that
Not really. Most Americans are horrible people. Savages, what we used to think animals were like. We thrive off of self interested cruelty, but don't even have the intelligence to be self interested about it.
They are now.
A little confused by the naïveté from OP. The US gov lets a lot of Americans starve too, you’re not special. That’s because humans are seen by Americans, especially govt types, as those with and without something of value to give. Gaza was run by terrorists. Israel is run by people who produce valuable exports for American Intel and military communities not to mention a heap load of economic investments. Next time hamas should consider that route instead of using children as shields and sitting around with AKs pretending to be religious. It’s not the pretending to be religious we have an issue with, everyone does that, it’s the lack of paying the piper for the privilege. Not saying we don’t do similar things but like Leary said, “two words, nuclear fucking warheads”.
